Roush Shifting

[do-it]

I have an 03 Sc, 7000 miles. I notice when uner hard acceleration it doesnt want to goto third. I have a good transmission frieind but he doesnt always know eveything. My question is has anybody had this problem before and do they know if its internal or the need for a better then stock shifter. My guess or how it fees is when the car is under load its twisting and mis-aligning the shifter. It doesnt happen any other gear or under downshifting. thanks and I hope top continue to monitr the board and eventually be able to give feed back!

I had the same problem with my 03. I'm pretty sure it is the shifter. I'm getting a MGW short throw for this car.

1. MGW
2. Tri Ax
3. Pro. 5.0

The Saleen Hurst shifter in your car is dog Sh**. Don't worry, I have the same shifter in my 2000.

2 weeks ago we converted my sons f1990 fox body ex GHP coupe to the MGW shifter. I suggested he try a commonly accepted name brand.............wrong.

It is very...very nice. I highly advise you try an aftermarket...good shifter. The MGW is darn nice.

I love my Pro 5.0 with adjustable MGW handle.


A friend of mine with a ’01 swapped in a new MGW shifter and noticed an improvement over the already good Pro 5.0.

The stock Saleen shifter is a POS! I love the Pro 5.0 in my car. I'll go out on a limb here and say that you can't miss 3rd with a Pro 5.0. I makes all the difference...

I've got the Steeda Tri-Ax shifter in my Saleen and I love it also. It will go to 3rd so easily.

For those that bought the MGW, where is the best place to get one?

http://www.mgwltd.com/mustang.shtml I think that is really the only place to get them.

thanks justin.

Mine had the same problem with third, and second was really "notchy" at times. Sometimes in 2nd as I would let the clutch out, it was just not "in" gear even though it felt like it went in all the way.

Ford has a TSB on the 3650 transmission. It calls for replacing almost everything inside it. I just had them do mine (and had the clutch upgraded while they had the tranny out), can't give you much of a review yet, as the weather has been bad since I got it back two months ago. In the 4.6 Tech forum there is a huge thread about the problems and the TSB.

 

[sal07b]

Just called Ford. They said a TSB is simply that, a technical service bulletin. That is not the same as a recall. Therefore, I'm assuming you paid for all the work??

 

[lgndracer]

No, all warranty. I had it in for these issues about three times, then they did the TSB. The only thing I paid for was for them to resurace the flywheel and swap the clutch, as that was my choice to change the clutch.
